We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

Put her in a choke hold and the other kids jumped in to beat his ass. The kids are alright.

When you’re used to privilege, equality for someone else feels like a mugging.

Tourism is down in the U.S. under Trump, while globally it is up.

Kristi Noem turned DHS into something that is FUBAR and tourists are scared to come.

A British woman was shackled and slept on floor of cell for six weeks even though she had a valid visa.

Noem must resign.

Jordan United Arab Emirates Indonesia Pakistan Bahrain Türkiye Saudi Arabia Syria Oman Palestine Qatar Kuwait Lebanon Egypt Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) - A 57-member intergovernmental body representing Muslim-majority countries. League of Arab States (LAS) - regional organization ot 22 Arab countries. Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC): Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND EXPATRIATES Joint Statement Amman, 22 February 2026 - The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Republic of Türkiye, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Palestine, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait, the Republic of Lebanon, the Arab Republic of Egypt together with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the League of Arab States (LAS), and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) express their strong condemnation and profound concern regarding the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he indicated that it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over territories belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank. They affirm their countries' categorical rejection of such dangerous and inflammatory remarks, which constitute a flagrant violation of the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and pose a grave threat to the security and stability of the region.

The Ministries stressed that these statements directly contradict the vision put forward by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, as well as the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which are based on containing escalation and creating a political horizon for a comprehensive settlement that ensures the Palestinian people have their own independent state. They underscored that the plan is grounded in promoting tolerance and peaceful coexistence, and that remarks seeking to legitimize control over the lands of others undermine these objectives, fuel tensions, and constitute incitement rather than advancing peace. The Ministries reaffirmed that Israel has no sovereignty whatsoever over the Occupied Palestinian Territory or any other occupied Arab lands. They reiterated their firm rejection of any attempts to annex the West Bank or separate it from the Gaza Strip, their strong opposition to the expansion of settlement activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and their categorical rejection of any threat to the sovereignty of Arab states. They further warned that the continuation of Israel's expansionist policies and unlawful measures will only inflame violence and conflict in the region and undermine the prospects for peace and called for an end to these incendiary statements. The Ministries underscored their countries' steadfast commitment to the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to the establishment of their independent state along the lines of 4 June 1967, and the end of the occupation of all Arab lands.

Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, has sparked a serious international diplomatic incident with his comments on Tucker Carlson’s show.

In a joint statement, the following countries, along with several regional and intergovernmental organizations, formally condemned his remarks.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

The New School Cancelled Their Class on Global Soccer and World Politics. We Are Going To Teach it Anyway. When institutions abandon critical thinking, we build our own classrooms.

NEW:

One of the most progressive institutions in the U.S., The New School, has begun destroying its humanities departments.

They have cancelled one of their most popular classes, "Global Soccer and World Politics."

We are going to teach it anyway.

An Open Letter to LeBron James on Israel, Gaza, and ‘Nothing But Great Things’ The NBA star’s recent praise for Israel, as the genocide continues, was as bewildering as it was shameful. What happened to his support for social justice?

My open letter to ⁦‪LeBron James‬⁩ after he said at the weekend that he had heard “nothing but great things” about Israel.

Heather Cox Richardson points out that Pam Bondi’s bizarre testimony makes more sense when you realize she couldn’t talk about the Epstein files without perjuring herself. Watch our discussion here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/heather-co...

A murder of crows. A parliament of owls. A cabinet of pedophiles.

Great, so basically they want them to go to Hillsdale or Liberty University.

Reports from international organizations and human rights groups confirm that Israel is currently blocking the entry of DNA kits and any forensic equipment into Gaza. Over 1,100 bodies recovered in Gaza remain unidentified because forensic tools, including DNA identification kits, are being denied entry. Israel maintains that its restrictions on aid and equipment entering Gaza are necessary to prevent Hamas from diverting them for military use. The military did not explain how DNA testing kits could threaten Israel. Within Israel itself, DNA testing is highly regulated under the Genetic Information Law, typically requiring a court order. Quote Ahmed Al-Najjar @Ahmed_A1Najjar ·

Ahmed Al-Najjar @Ahmed_A1Najjar More than FORTY deceased Palestinians — or what remains of them — have been buried nameless today in Central Gaza because Israel refused to allow the necessary tools for identification or provide any information about them after it had kidnapped them.

Pam Bondi is pure trash and an embarrassment to the legal profession and to what used to be a honorable institution - the DOJ.

This is utterly deranged behavior from a U.S. attorney general

It almost like the worst, least talented people in America have all the top jobs.

My new go to post…

It’s hard to overstate my contempt for Pam Bondi and her contemptuousness toward justice and the pain of women who’ve survived sexual abuse and rape as children.

Europe is holding its Epstein creeps accountable. Why can’t we? | Will Bunch Europeans are pushing to hold Jeffrey Epstein's creepy pals, including billionaires like Elon Musk, accountable. The U.S.? Not so much.

"The Epstein class" is a global rot

In Europe, ties to Jeffrey Epstein are ending careers, sparking spy probes, and possibly toppling governments

In America, not so much. How the lack of elite accountability became the tipping point for democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jeff...

Trump Rages at Bad Bunny—and Accidentally Exposes a Big MAGA Weakness MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

I've got fresh data illustrating the point. 1/

(new piece)
newrepublic.com/article/2062...

Bunny’s closing message of unity “Together we are America” intentionally included all our neighbors to the north and south.

The message being we ought to see the world as bigger than ourselves.

How we react to the Bad Bunny show and its messages simply reveals our own understanding of America.

Wow, this was a powerful ad.

Incredible, but these victims had to air a commercial during the Super Bowl to try and get justice...
